Adaptation of Ancient Chinese Art?
Some reviewers harshly criticize Scott Cole as a fraud.But as far as I'm concerned,he teaches the principles of tai chi very well.I suppose the main objection of some is the "Americanization" of the art of tai chi.But it is still an excellent program that relaxes, strengthens, stretches and centers.That's good enough for me.I tried other tai chi videos and they were too complicated or fast, even if they are labelled beginner.

An energetic and enjoyable way to prepare for one's day
Discover Tai Chi: Am & Pm Workouts is an impressively presented, two-video boxed set featuring fitness instructor and Tai Chi expert Scott Cole, who has traveled more than 30 countries to better learn and share his expertise and wisdom. The A.M. workout is an energetic and enjoyable way to prepare for one's day, and the P.M. Workout is a soothing means to cleans body, mind, and spirit of pent-up frustrations. Ideal for the novice and with much of value for even the more experienced Tai Chi student, Discover Tai Chi: Am & Pm Workouts is a truly excellent, "user friendly" instructional video for exercise and spiritual appreciation of the tranquility and balance that Tai Chi strives for. Running Time: 60 minutes (30 minutes each). ... Read more

My third one
This was the third DVD I bought by Scott Cole. I find the moves in this program are really helping me get going on a weight loss and fitness program. I exercise with it first thing every morning and then follow it up with the morning meditation from his AM PM workout DVD. I've been at it for about 2 weeks. Whether I lose weight or not, this DVD has gotten me moving and that is a big benefit!

Get your body moving while relaxing at the same time
Discover Tai Chi for Weight Loss was my first-ever experience with Tai Chi, and I enjoyed it more than I had anticipated.Instructor Scott Cole describes it as an "interval-type workout," which means that you alternate between slowly flowing through the movements to performing them at a more upbeat tempo.The workout begins inside a large, airy studio, and Scott starts with an 8-minute warm-up consisting of gentle arm and leg motions.One frequently-used transition move is called monkey-bear, which basically means swinging your arms in front of you as you lightly move from side to side.Following the warm-up, Scott moves into a 21-minute segment of what he says are traditional Tai Chi postures.Unlike in yoga, these postures are dynamic and consist of simple movements linked in a flow.Scott introduces each posture first at a slow pace, then speeding it up to tempo, a pace that is brisk but still easy to follow.The movements range from a basic "Brush Push"--pushing one arm forward while sliding the other backward--to slightly more strenuous Tai Chi kicks.During this section, I could definitely feel my heart rate increasing, although this was not a steady effect given the variable pace of the workout.
absolutely beautiful
I had read about Scott Cole, but had never purchased one of his videos.Im in my early 40's and with toddler in tow.After years of fitness and activity, well, that has declined.I rotate several tapes/DVD.The setting is easy to follow, motions are uncomplicated and the results are phenominal in terms of improving balance, breathing, relaxation and toning legs abs and arms.Im not talking six pack...Obviously if not following a rigorous schedule for cardio and diet, you will never see the TV model series body...Lets get real here.BUT, if you're a beginer or like me, modifying your lifestyle without giving up exercise altogether, you'll be amazed by the results.Scott Cole is a wonderful instructor, uncomplicated, easy to follow.The settings are simple.If nothing else, close your eyes and get lost in his voice.For those of us in the rat race, the workout is just a quick escapade that cleanses the mind of clutter, and releases tension.Its "body candy". ...

a little disorganized but seems effective
while i am not a fan of scott cole, he seems to have gotten better choreography for the cardio/aerobics part. not nearly as silly as the abs of steel for men tape. i don't really feel anything in the abs as i am working out with this tape, but i notice my entire mid-section seems a bit tighter after following along with the two shirtless wonders (i forget the other guy's name) on this tape. the workout seems a bit disorganized with some of the more complex moves being hard to follow due to them not demonstrating slowly enough. i would say this is not a workout for total beginners. that meaning someone who is newly off the couch who has never worked out before. but overall it's a good workout. i already do a lot of the moves they show with my kickboxing workout so nothing too new here. i do like the idea of working out the abs by doing standing workout. sometimes you just need to be off the mat.

More like "Worst" Abs on Earth
I heard about this video from my well-known fitness magazine, which is usually pretty hard core and right on as far as infomation.Talk about a waste of $20.The 2 guys "performing" on this video are just corny - just one stupid comment after another, and there are no engaging or difficult moves shown.Nor is there any type of order or routine offered to make it interesting.If I could give it "0" stars, I would.Completely worthless.

Disappointed in "Best Abs on Earth" - Should rate 0 stars
I purchased this tape looking for something different to add to my current exercise routine and enhance the kickboxing classes I teach. As an instructor, I found the video lacking any real exercises or routines. It seemed like a quick demo was all that was put together for various "movements" you could try at home. I do not think a beginner would have enough experience to properly execute the moves in this tape and even if they could, they are not truly the "ab burning" material that the tape claimes. Save you money, try "Abs of Steel".

Very good routine, but....
I consider this tape a very good routine breaker, something that you could do a Saturday or Sunday, just for that... breaks the routine.Read more

Excellent!!! I Love it!I Love it! I Love It!
I have viewed various Tai Chi videos, but not until Scott Coles' Discover Tai Chi for Beginners, was I able to pull it all together. From other videos I learned a little of this and a little of that, but from watching Scott's video, I was finally able to get the flow of the movements blending together and gradually incorporate leg and foot movements along with the arm and hand flow.
Easy Does It
I am currently attending a Tai Chi class for Seniors. I wanted a tape to use at home.I found this one very helpful as Scott works in mirror image of what you are doing. That is the way our teacher does, and it's very easy to follow. I've auditioned a number of tapes and find them hard to follow since they are NOT doing it in mirror image. I'm not aspiring to be a Tai Chi master. I just wanted a nice relaxing tape to exercise to and I found this one perfect for me. I do it everyday if possible. I am not an exercising person but this I will do!'

Inspiring and Motivating!
